Former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, will on Wednesday, hold a world press conference in Geneva, Switzerland.
The press conference, which holds at 3pm local time, is part of activities lined up by the Circle of Diplomats (Circle Diplomatique), Geneva in honour of Jonathan, which would be concluded with a dinner same day.
According to a statement by Guy Mettan, Executive Director, the Geneva Press Club, Jonathan will address two most crucial topics in Nigeria and West Africa at the press briefing.
Mettan said the former Nigerian president will talk about security and civil peace in Nigeria and West Africa, on one hand, as well as improvement of health and education of children, on the other.
He said accredited United Nations correspondents and Swiss journalists are expected at the press conference, which will most likely see Jonathan talking about Boko Haram activities in Nigeria and the fight against insurgency.
The Circle of Diplomats will also host a dinner in honour of Jonathan on Wednesday night at the Intercontinental Hotel, Geneva.
Since leaving office on May 29, 2015, Jonathan has engaged in peace missions and election monitoring on behalf of the United Nations. He has also received global awards and acclaim for peacefully relinquishing power after losing the presidential election last year.
Jonathan had conceded defeated to President Muhammadu Buhari last year even before the final results of the 2015 Nigerian presidential election was announced. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

GEJ may indirectly be lined up for arrest as Falana's petition ICC. I wonder what they want him to say. Having failed woefully to tackle these issues.I dey laugh oh!
ReplyDeleteAnimal like you. Go and arrest him.
DeleteBros abeg laugh ur self...nobody knw say u dey laugh, u sure say I fit attain this man pedigree even u were given four lives to live?
DeleteThis man deserve the honourable, for honourably conceded defeat. No African Leader has ever done it, this his singular act will EVER be a reference point in the Global Political His try.
ReplyDeleteThough he may have made some in his process of Goverance, but his Peaceful Hand Over supercede every other things
Even if we don't appreciate him. World leaders and international bodies of great repute still reckon with him. A great man indeed. I think a person in the caliba of GEJ would have done well as a president in a country like Canada or US and not in a multi-ethnic and corruption infested country like Nigeria. We can all see that he is now operating such level. Not too long ago he bagged an award from a Xtian community in the US. Now he is going to Geneva to deliver a speech on issues of insecurity in Nigeria. Truely God's choosen. Ride on Mr Ex-President.Surely, you going places.
ReplyDeleteThis guy should be in jail . All this arangee moves can not erase the fact that he stole the country blind. Since when did conceding to defeat makes one a hero? Is he the first?
ReplyDeletePlease go and arrest him....until u do so,shut d hell up...

Delete@ La, yes he is the first in Africa.
ReplyDeleteMumu what of petre botha off south Africa. Some idiot praising jonathan for conceding defeat. He already know what will happen to him if he fails to co0ncede. Remember Lauren Gbagbo of Ivory Coast
DeleteBros Peter Botha never conceded defeat but was forced out of office when he was struck with stroke and continued to rule. Just get your facts before u spew lies here
DeleteRelationship and affairs,keep talking rubbish...mayb u tink u are talking to illetrates...
DeleteWe cannot be deceived, Pdp is behind this mockery called 'world conference'. This man can never be serious for once. This is a world class mediocre coming to talk about civil peace in Nigeria. He should also speak on how he supervised slaughtering of 17,000 Nigerians by Pdp's terrorist wing - Boko Haram and $2bn arms money.Conceding victory: when did it be become a big deal.He would have dared not to hand over. He should be charged for genocide after the pdp arrange e conference right there in Hague. Conference my foot!!
ReplyDeleteNigga u no like hug transformer?...the truth is no one will notice u did
DeleteBad belle no just dey good
DeleteAnonymousJanuary 25, 2016 at 9:09 AM For you to assume PDP is behind the speech conference in Geneva shows how weak you are in your brain. You think $2.1Billion is the problem Nigeria is facing right now? Or you think EFCC whatever they called themselves can go near Jonathan for arrest? If Jonathan is arrested then Obasanjo and all ex state governors, minister and Buhari himself will be arrested because he got 2 cars from the loot. Mind you Jonathan is going places and there is nothing you and I can do to stop him. If all Southerners are United like the Northerners he should still be in office making waves.. Not the baba Ijebu who call himself president yet he doesn't know what he is doing. Let see how far he can go to bring peace and social amenities to the country.
DeleteGood talk God bless you Buhari had 2 cars from de Loot.....today some Efcc ar looting de loot Abdulsalam and OBJ loot Abacha`s Loot and Buhari knows yet dey ar de Saints in His Govt ....Nonsense
DeleteA prophet has no honour in his home
